\u201cWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI got on a plane, and the flight staff was waiting at the entrance to the plane for me expectantly, and they said, \u2018Guess who you\u2019re sitting next to? George Clooney,\u2019\u201d Davis recalled while sitting alongside fellow guest Nathan Fillion. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018Guess who he\u2019s sitting next to.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
In a \u201cvery gregarious\u201d and \u201ctalkative\u201d mood, Clooney went on to tell Davis that he dislikes Pitt. <\/p>\nGeena Davis revealed George Clooney hated Brad Pitt after he lost a role in \u201cThelma & Louise\u201d to him in the early 90s. (Pictured above is Geena Davis on Thursday night\u2019s episode of \u201cWatch What Happens Live\u201d). Charles Sykes\/Bravo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHost Andy Cohen told the actress that \u201cThelma & Louise\u201d found the \u201cright guy\u201d with Pitt. Charles Sykes\/Bravo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/aside>\n\u201cAnd at one point, we\u2019re talking about Brad Pitt, and he says, \u2018You know, I hate that Brad Pitt.\u2019 I said, \u2018No, you don\u2019t. Isn\u2019t he like your best friend or something?’\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I hate him because he got the part in \u2018Thelma & Louise,\u2019\u201d Clooney allegedly told the \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d star. <\/p>\n
Davis then asked him, \u201c\u2018Oh, did you want to get that part?\u2019 And he said, \u2018Couldn\u2019t you tell when I read with you?’\u201d <\/p>\n
Amused by Davis\u2019 story, Cohen admitted that Pitt was the \u201cright guy\u201d for the job.<\/p>\nPitt starred in the 1991 film as J.D., a hustler, as pictured above. \u00a9MGM\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPitt and Davis\u2019 characters played love interests. \u00a9MGM\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe 1991 film \u201cThelma & Louise\u201d tells the story of Thelma (Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) who go on a crime spree while on the run after Louise shoots Harlan Puckett (Timothy Carhart).<\/p>\n
Pitt starred in the movie as J.D., a hustler. The role served as his breakout performance. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere in her Thursday night interview, Davis dished on what it was like to kiss a young Pitt in the 90s buddy comedy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThelma & Louise is considered to be Brad Pitt\u2019s breakout role. You went to bat for him famously during the audition process. With a word, describe what it\u2019s like to kiss Brad Pitt,\u201d Cohen asked Davis. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh, with a word?\u201d Davis joked. \u201cReally? I don\u2019t know if I want to answer this question.\u201d<\/p>\nPitt starred alongside Davis and Susan Sarandon, who played the movie\u2019s titular characters. \u00a9MGM\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nClooney and Pitt (both pictured above at the Critics Choice Movie Awards) are famously close pals and went on to work together in \u201cOcean\u2019s Eleven.\u201d Getty Images for VH1<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFillion helped Davis by offering up the words \u201cmemorable, sublime,\u201d which Davis agreed with.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you see in him that made you go to bat for him?\u201d Cohen went on to ask. <\/p>\n
\u201cLook, he got the part all on his own merit,\u201d Davis said, adding that she felt he had \u201cthe best\u201d reading when he auditioned. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
